    Abstract: A field emission device of simple structure enables stabilization and control of field emission current. A three-dimensional emitter formed on a base member incorporates therein a source layer on the side in contact with the base member, a drain layer on the side of the distal end including a tip and a channel region layer between the source layer and the drain layer. A gate is formed near the emitter. A strong electric field generated by applying a voltage to the gate causes cold electrons to be emitted from the emitter tip and the voltage applied to the gate also controls the conductivity of the channel region layer, whereby the field emission current emitted from the tip of the emitter is stabilized and controlled.

    Abstract: A heterostructure electron emitter including a substrate having a surface with a predetermined potential barrier and a quantum well formed in the substrate adjacent the surface. Contacts are positioned on the substrate for coupling free electrons to the substrate and into the quantum well. An acoustic wave device is positioned on the substrate so as to direct acoustic waves to strike the free electrons in the quantum well and excite the free electrons sufficiently to cause the free electrons to overcome the potential barrier and to be emitted from the surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: A device for the multiplication of charge carriers of a given type by an avalanche phenomenon includes:a semiconductor material of homogeneous composition, placed in an electrical field.Perpendicular to the working field, plane and parallel layers which are thin as compared with the thickness of the material separating them, are made in this material and are n-doped or p-doped depending on the type of charge carrier, the said layers forming reservoirs where charge carriers of the said type are confined. The injection of at least one charge carrier of the said type in the charge carrier multiplying device sets off the multiplication of charge carriers through a process of impact ionization. This charge carrier is accelerated by the working field and thus acquires energy sufficient to make it capable of ejecting a charge carrier of the said type from the doped layer. The charge carriers obtained are guided by the working field. This impact ionization process is repeated from one layer to the next, and thus constitutes an avalanche multiplication phenomenon. The device can be applied to photosensors, photocathodes and infrared viewing devices.

    Abstract: A device for producing or amplifying coherent radiation includes a semiconductor device such as a laser. By means of electrons of high energy produced by a semiconductor cathode of the device, population inversion is obtained in an active layer of the laser structure. In this manner, laser action is obtained, which offers advantages, especially with II-VI materials which emit radiation of a wavelength shorter than the usual III-V materials, and which do not permit the desired population inversion to be obtained in the same manner as in III-V materials, by means of current injection across a pn junction. The semiconductor cathode and the laser structure can be arranged in mutual separation in a vacuum tube or be realized in one semiconductor body. The short-wave laser is especially advantageous for CD,DOR and VLP applications.
